Answer:

k = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 5x + k

dy/dx = 2x - 5 = the slope of the tangent to the curve

The slope of the normal = -1/(2x - 5)

The line  3y + x =25 is normal to the curve so finding its slope:

3y = 25 - x

y = -1/3 x + 25/3 <------- Slope is -1/3

So at the point of intersection with the curve, if the line is normal to the curve:

-1/3 = -1 / (2x - 5)

2x - 5 = 3  giving x = 4.

Substituting for x in y = x^2 - 5x + k:

When x = 4, y =  (4)^2 - 5*4 + k  

y = 16 - 20 + k

so y = k - 4.

From the equation y = -1/3 x + 25/3,  at x = 4

y = (-1/3)*4 + 25/3 = 21/3 = 7.

So y = k - 4 = 7

k = 7 + 4 = 11.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

=Vlookup'B13' A11' 7'false

Press enter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vlookup is a technique in excel which enables users to search for criterion values. It is vertical lookup function in excel which return a value from a different column. The formula for Vlookup function is:

=Vlookup'select cell you want to look up in' select cell you want to lookup from' select column index number' true/false.

where true is approximate match and false is exact match.

Harrison has 30 cds in his music collection. If 40% of the cds are country and 30% are pop, how many are other types of music
Pavel [41]
Well you have to find out how many cd is 40% and 30% 
30% = 30x.3=9
40% = 30x.4=16
now add 16 and 9
16+9=25 now subtract 25 from 30 and see that you have 5 cd of a different type of music to find that as a % divide 5 by 35 to get .14 I rounded it to the nearest hundreth now move the decimal over 2 spots to get 14%

​You'd like to estimate the proportion of the 12,152 full-time undergraduate students at a university who are foreign students.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

a) The data distribution consists of ( 7 )​1's (denoting a foreign ​student) and ( 43 )0's (denoting a student from the​ U.S.).

b) The population distribution consists of the​ x-values of the population of 12,152 full-time undergraduate students at the​university, ( 6 )​% of which are​ 1's (denoting a foreign​ student) and ( 94 )% of which are​ 0's (denoting a student from the​ U.S.).

c) The mean is ( 0.06 )

The standard deviation is ( 0.0336 )

The sampling distribution represents the probability distribution of the ( sample ) proportion of foreign students in a random sample of ( 50 ) students. In this​ case, the sampling distribution is approximately normal with a mean of ( 0.06 ) and a standard deviation of ( 0.0336 )

Frankie wants to build a path from one corner of his yard to the opposite corner. His yard measures 20 ft. x 32 ft. What will be
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Frankie's yard is a rectangle with the longer side = 32ft and the shorter side = 20ft. You want to find the length of the diagonal going through the rectangle. In essence, you basically have a triangle with two sides, one 32ft, the other 20ft, and you're looking for the hypotenuse.

Let's call a=32, b=20, and you're looking for the hypotenuse c. Use the Pythagorean theorem:
{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  = {c}^{2}
Plug the numbers in to find c, the length of your path! So
\sqrt{{32}^{2}  +   {20}^{2}}  = 37.7
